Bracken Library Visitors see Sneak Preview of "Thoroughly Modern Millie"

Twenty talented students from Ball State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance captivated Bracken Library visitors in a sneak preview performance of the award-winning production, Thoroughly Modern Millie, on Thursday, November 9, 2006.

Students, faculty, and staff were delighted as they stopped to watch the half-hour performance led by Terra Mackintosh in the title role. Professor Bill Jenkins, Department Chair and director of the production, said the play is a prototypical Broadway musical and reports that the cast of characters are ‘terrifically fun.’

Through the Bracken Matinee Musicales, the University Libraries support liberal arts by offering a variety of short performances throughout the year in Bracken’s Lobby. These help to spirit fine arts appreciation. Many performances are recorded. View www.bsu.edu/library/virtualpress.
